I believe a well done delayed ico is better than a hastily done botched up ico , in the long run at least. only concern is if they are going to send some incentives to the guys who have already invested or the guys hunting the bounties.

C'mon guys. Still no takers? This is your big chance to be a head developer in a coin with a low supply and privacy features. Huge profit potential.

So as of right now vertcoin is sitting at $3.50 with supply cap double of SSD. Imagine want this coin would be worth if it had an active dev team. I imagine an investor would make out pretty well on this. Hire developers to make the coin active again, buy up as much as you can, rebrand to something new, update website and get the coin listed on bittrex or poloniex. Market it as much as possible for the least amount of money and boom instant profit.

A huge selling point would be the Tor browser in the wallet that was under development. I saw that vertcoin is doing something similar and they are a hot commodity right now.

I'm thinking about ways to get an angel investor interested in the coin so it'll be funded. That would mean paid developers.

I've been talking to Arg on Twitter and trying to get him to rebrand to something different. I was thinking Torque because it has Tor in the name and it represents something that's used for securing something like a torque wrench. He's still busy with life happening. I'm thinking he had children and that's what's taking up most of his time and resources. As for finding a developer nothing so far has come of my attempts. Arg says it wouldn't take much to get the coin back up again and I think the only way it'll get relisted on bittrex is if the GitHub became active again. My personal opinion is that this coin could be a college education or retirement fund for his kids if it were active again. Only time will tell. Our only hope is to get an angel investor to put Fiat into the project and that would require the community putting effort into marketing to the right people. Arg is a developer and not a marketer so we have to bear that. On a side note here couldn't get the website back because someone got the domain. Probably also a good reason to rebrand. Maybe torquecoin.com??

Russel is looking into getting the website back up and running which is just a matter of reregistration of a domain. That's a win at least for promotion purposes. It also saves anyone willing to take over the need to make an entirely new website. From what I can tell the only thing any new developer would need to do is maintenance and begin working on the wallet based Tor browser. Update the road map and then relaunch.

Russel Waters is the current developer and I only have contact with him on Twitter. It's hard to get him to respond right away when I message him. It would be nice if a developer from a well know coin was willing to take over. I have my fingers crossed.

I did the best I could trying to find people interested in taking over the project. Problem is we don't have much of a community left. It's like a double edge sword. People won't come back to Sonic because it doesn't have a developer. Developers won't take over the project because it doesn't have a community. You would think that at this time someone would want to relaunch a privacy based cryptocurrency with a low money supply. Most people invest based on hype and rumors anyway so someone could focus mostly on website and advertising to bring Sonic back and never even touch the GitHub. My guess is the best thing for Sonic would be entirely new Branding. New logo, new name and new website.

NEEDS A NEW HEAD DEVELOPER!!!!The current head developer is not able to keep up with maintaining the coin because of personal reasons. He is willing to hand over the project to someone else. Here's some info on the coin:Sonic Coin (ticker symbol SSD) Sonic Coin provides a complete anonymity solution for cryptocurrencies. It combines the network analysis resistance of Tor with the blockchain analysis resistance of stealth send. Sonic Screwdriver has a fair distribution with nearly four hours of low reward blocks, a small premine of 1%, and the long-term energy efficiency of proof-of-stake minting. This wallet supports the stake=0 option in the SonicScrewdriver.conf file to disable the stake miner thread for pool and exchange operators. Info on the Money Supply:Algorithm: SHA-256d Premine: 0 First Subsidy 8,000 SSD Halving every 1440 blocks (about 1 day) Last PoW block: 20,420 Total PoW Money: 23,037,120 SSD PoS Interest: 20% (Look how low that supply is! With the right advertising this could be the next Monero)Here is a link to the github https://github.com/SonicScrew/SonicScrewdriver What I like about this coin is that it adds privacy to something with the same algo as bitcoin. Any innovation in this area could eventually be used by bitcoin developers. I still think it has that potential even now. Perhaps with some rebranding and development updates this coin can rise from the ashes. I've talked to the current developer, Russel and he mentioned that it wouldn't take much to get the coin back on its feet.

The Chinese government plans to make a state run exchange that only allows dogecoin 🐕

John McAfee was recently talking about how Monero is untraceable. I wonder how well Sonic would've faired in those trials. He did mention using Tor for making bitcoin transactions. I wanna ask him what his opinion is about stenography.
|
|
|
With 23 million supply this coin has the potential to be over $100 a peice and it's already Proof of stake so no scaling issues. With an active developer I'm certain it would capture the attention of those interested in privacy crytocurrencies same as Dash or Monero.

SSD is the first cryptocurrency to integrate Tor and use stenography which makes it an important part of cryto history. I see that Deeponion is doing something similar with a different algo. The last development that Arg was working on with SSD that was almost done but never completed was integrating a Tor browser into the wallet. If your a developer looking for a project with huge prospects that doesn't require a lot of work this may be your opportunity. It's like finding an old car with 2000 miles on the odometer. It wouldn't take much to get it on the road again.

I messaged arg on Twitter today. Here is his response "it may not take as much as people think. I just had to take a break from crypto due to life happening and haven't had a chance to get back at it again. the GitHub is publicly accessible and anyone could work with it. https://t.co/LTwd1ZD8V2if you know someone interested in taking it over have them hit me up. otherwise it will happen when I have/make time" So if we can make an ad for a developer who is willing to take it over arg is willing to let them as long as they contract him. He also appreciates us keeping the coin alive.

We should get a dev first and then get added to an exchange. Once we have all the info that a new dev would need then post an ad for development team wanted. Probably a good idea to rebrand too and have a new website.

Washington State has some serious regulation issues right now so I'm betting that being a developer in Washington can be hard.
